The first record of an organ dates from 1310, with a smaller organ, probably for the Lady Chapel, being installed in 1415. In 1620 a new organ, built by Thomas Dallam, was installed at a cost of £398 1s 5d, however this was destroyed by parliamentary soldiers in 1643 and another new organ was built in 1662,[1] which was enlarged in 1786,[2] and again in 1855.[3] In 1909–1910 a new organ was built by Harrison & Harrison with the best parts of old organ retained,[4] and this has been maintained by the same company since.[5]
